Queen cuts Andrew adrift: Duke of York is stripped of ALL his military titles and royal patronages, will no longer use HRH in official capacity and is told he will have to face sex assault lawsuit as a 'private citizen'

Prince Andrew was today stripped of his military titles and royal patronages by the Queen, who said he will have to face his sexual assault lawsuit as a 'private citizen'.

The Duke of York will no longer be allowed to use the styling 'HRH' in any capacity, signalling the royal family's attempt to distance itself from the ninth in line to the throne as he faces a humiliating trial in the US.

The move to shred his ties with the military is likely to be particularly painful for Andrew, a military veteran who served as a helicopter pilot for the Royal Navy during the Falklands War.

That’s what I believe. Andrew is the fall guy for the big name crowd.

I am sure the Prince is by himself quite wealthy, but I imagine the plaintiff and her attorneys are not assumed because the resources available to him are now considerably less in the event of damages being awarded at the end of the proceedings at least to my thinking.
The Queen might be one shrewd customer.

“Who would spend time with an RSO?”

Prominent people besides Andrew did. I wonder who else this Virginia who is suing Andrew could name besides Dershowitz?

That’s true. But any day now I expect Biden to claim that as a toddler he participated in the D-Day invasion, and helped capture a German pillbox.

Good luck in court Andrew. If I were in your spot I’d hire Alan Dershowitz as my lawyer. He hates Ms. Virginia with a passion.

At 17 with the age of consent in most of the United States she was legal just about everywhere.
It is the crossing state line and sex trafficking that are the areas of concern.
Since these are not any criminal charges related I’m not entirely sure how the suit will go.
Epstein can't (or won't) testify, Maxwell?,it boils down to be said she said.
The prince better be really tying up those alibi's.

Yep. The deep state has their sacrificial lamb.

No, that was his son Beau, whose death Biden falsely claimed made them a Gold Star family. He pulled the same heartstrings yesterday when he went to visit Odierno’s internment bc of some supposed military connection between the two. Mr. Biden, sad as it was, your son never even saw combat, was not killed in uniform and died of brain cancer.
